the face




















picked up a couple of early UK face magazines at the bi-annual vancouver record fair last weekend and they're proving to be very insightful. did you know that the jam's "the gift" album was released at the same time as the fun boy three's debut??? or that rhoda and the special a.k.a.'s "the boiler" was being described as "disco-rap" by the 2 tone camp before its release??? gulp... anyways, context... context... more music trivia for the musical mind. getting stoked for another tiki bar session at the waldorf this week. what to expect??? come and find out... if i told you what you'd hear, the thrill would be gone. put it this way. the cover is free. the drinks may or may not be too expensive for you, but if money is tight, get a water and dance on the spot w/ me for a few songs to keep me company. we'll call it exercise. i'll wear my roots sweatpants...

PS - "face" drawing pic above is by vastly underrated vancouver/toronto artist/musician/actor robert dayton from his "IMAGINARY FRIENDS AND FANTASY BEARDS" show at the paul petro gallery, march 18-29, 2009...
